Girlfriend is really pissing me off.?

Question

So my girlfriend is a bit of a flake. She is going UNI and has to do a statistics report by collecting data from a cemetery. Now she is smart, smarter than me, i will admit. But she is so content on looking at the fine details she misses the bigger picture. She did not read her homework assignment properly and gathered the completely wrong information. Then it fell to me to help her out with her UNI studies and collect the data she requires. The only issue is that she will not listen to me. When we were collecting the original data i asked her a simple question, to which she did not know the answer, which resulted in the completely wrong information being gathered. And any time i try to help her with her UNI work or calm her down because of an exam, I keep getting my failed UNI attempt thrown in my face. "What would you know, you failed uni". So i don't know that study habits are crucial? I don't know that sitting on the couch crying because im scared of a physics exam is not going to help my physics knowledge?
I feel like im pointing out the obvious to her and she looks at me like im a penguin teaching flying lessons.
Any ideas on what i can possibly say? Ive talked to her, but nothing gets resolved. And im at the point where ive told her to tell me nothing of UNI. If she doesn't want my input then she shouldn't talk about it.
How's it sounding? A bit crazy to me.

Answer 1

You just answered your own question dude.



= If she doesn't want your input then don't ask. You can't really help someone who doesn't want to be helped. And you've already told her. Don't feel belittled by her put downs. At least you made it to UNI. I wasn't even close.

Answer 2

That is typical of someone whom is on the defensive--for misreading the assignment; and a jerk of a person for throwing it in your face constantly. I feel you have done the right thing by staying way from the UNI thing. She sounds a bit like a know it all, and arrogant.

Answer 3

I completely understand your point and I think she's a lost cause. She's going to remember this forever because she a girl. You have 2 options: stay away from her with anything to do with school or break up with her. It's the brutal truth.

Answer 4

She must be afraid of failing uni herself, but that's no reason to act rude and uptight towards someone you suposedly love. Tell her to get a grip. Sounds like she needs a good fail.



(I love it how guys always call their girlfriends "flakes" when they know that they are idiots, it's one of those places chivalry hasn't died yet haha)

Answer 5

I think she is underestimating your smarts, it is disrespectful from what I see.



Even if you admit that you're not smart doesn't give her the right to turn down your answers because you failed the test.



I think it is more of a matter of self esteem and her desire for perfection.

Answer 6

Best not to say anything bro, women are totally awesome and all but they don't think like men and vive-a-versa... let her have it her way and your life will be simpler!

Answer 7

Shes stubborn as long as your polite and you try thats all u can do. Girls are girls man there will be things like that your whole life.
